4 0

Answer:

one that has an unstable nucleus

Explanation:

An isotope is defined as a chemical variant  present in an atom with different number of neutron but same number of protons.

Radioactive decay is the sudden breakdown of an atomic nucleus allowing matter and radiation to be emitted from the nucleus. A radioisotope with unstable nuclei undergoes radioactive decay because they do not have adequate binding energy to keep the nucleus together. there are four  types of Alpha, Beta, Gamma Decay and Positron Emission.

Hence, the correct option is "one that has an unstable nucleus"

During acclimatization over a few days to weeks, the body produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes. Full adaptation to high altitude is achieved when the increase of red blood cells reaches a plateau and stops.Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). ... At the beginning of exercise, your body removes the parasympathetic stimulation, which enables the heart rate to gradually increase.
